Thank you spell check!

I was taking the moment I had this fine Sunday morning to prepare my Monday post.  I'll PROBABLY have time on Monday, but I do have time today.  Anyway- I used the term head start (spoiler) and I was unsure whether that would be a compound word or two words.  Spell check to the rescue! (Hmmm - now I am remembering that little paperclip guy who would pop-up to give Microsoft hints - pause for google search - there he is, "Clippy"!  I wonder what became of him...) As it turns out head start can be one compound word when referencing the early education program: HeadStart.  It gets two capitalized letters - wow!  But I was not making that reference. Spell check offered a third option which I really need to find a way to use: heads tart!  I want to write about that but not eat it.  And.....why?
